Sony a7RII conversion gain visual changes

August 13, 2015 By JimK Leave a Comment

In this post, I’ll present pairs of images made with the a7RII on both sides of the conversion gain transition, corrected in post as explained here.

The conversion gain change seems to take place with no material color shifts.

Looking closer:

ISO 640
ISO 640
ISO 500
ISO 500
ISO 640
ISO 640
ISO 500
ISO 500

We can see that the ISO 500 image is noisier.
